To find out how many stickers Miss Boone has left after giving the same number to each of her 9 students, we need to divide the total number of stickers she has by the number of students and find the remainder.
We start with the total number of stickers:
\[
1297
\]
Next, we divide by the number of students:
\[
1297 \div 9
\]
Calculating this division:
1. First, we determine how many times 9 fits into 1297. We can accomplish this by performing the division:
\[
1297 \div 9 \approx 144.1111 \quad \text{(we are only interested in the whole number part)}
\]
Therefore, 9 fits into 1297 a total of 144 full times.
2. Now, we multiply 144 by 9 to find out how many stickers are given away:
\[
144 \times 9 = 1296
\]
3. Now we subtract the number of stickers given away from the total number of stickers to find the leftovers:
\[
1297 - 1296 = 1
\]
Thus, the number of stickers that will be left over is
\[
\boxed{1}
\]
